This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Sanofi Genzyme and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing and remitting inflammatory skin disease that affects 7.2% of adults and 12% of children. Disability and a poor quality of life (QOL) are associated with AD, particularly among patients who are suboptimally managed. Pediatricians and primary care providers (PCPs) are often the first point-of-contact for patients with AD.

Although PCPs and pediatricians are seeing an increase in AD cases, recent evidence shows these clinicians are lacking in their ability to accurately diagnose and assess disease severity. In a recent survey, only 29% of PCPs were able to recognize essential features and characteristic distribution of AD to support diagnosis. Another survey found a discrepancy between how physicians and patients rate AD severity, with patients focusing more on skin-related QOL outcomes and physicians focusing more on sleep disturbance. Many moderate-to-severe cases of AD in adulthood often begin as early-onset disease that was suboptimally treated or miscategorized. This activity will address these educational gaps among PCPs and pediatricians, and application of the knowledge gained will improve outcomes for patients with AD.
